Can we all pause for a minute and ask ourselves some questions? Is this fight against judges a fight for the masses? It is not all about rising in our voices in appraisal to the executive for extending the fight against corruption to the judiciary. The question is, is the fight for the masses? Buhari is fighting judges because outcome of election tribunals didnt favour APC/APC candidates. How many poor men in the street have been denied justice and no one ever confront the judges for upturning judgment? This is just a political fight/tussle between the executive and the judiciary... the elites. |

horlabiyi:There is nothing that is unconstitutional about the raid of the residences of the judges by the operatives of DSS. This raid should have happened about five years ago. The corruption in the judiciary has got to a condemnable level. We lawyers know that something like this was bound to happen. It is happening rather too late. No law says a criminal cannot be dealt with. The NJC cannot even say that the DSS should not make arrests in the midnight. It is only when one has committed an offence or suspected to have committed an offence that such a person can be arrested. You can even be arrested on a Xmas day or New Year day. A lot of terrible things are happening in this country. One would have expected the NBA to have intervened and cried foul. When a judge was attacked in Ekiti some years ago, what did the NBA do? What could be more humiliating than a governor going to a courtroom to attack a judge? The same governor is the one leading those who are condemning the DSS. This is the same governor that beat up a judge. Then the NBA was silent. Why are they talking now? How can anybody defend a judge that money was found in his residence? Nobody keeps money at home. The monetary evidence is suggestive. The DSS simply acted on the petition received. The DSS acted based on the evidence. It was as a result of complaints. I don't think those condemning the DSS got it right. The DSS only went ahead to procure evidence. If they have told the judges they are coming, the judges would have cleared their houses and kept the evidence. Imagine a judge going to the supermarket to take money. Sometime ago, one of the judges collected N200m, the NJC only told him to pay it back in instalments. Is that not a pact? If you have been found to have collected a bribe, is the punishment to merely pay it back in instalments? It is very wrong. 1 Like |

Whoever is found to be a corrupt Judge, let him be arrested and prosecuted, simple. Even if it's vendetta, so far the judge is corrupt, let him dance the dance of the spirits. What some people don't know is the fact that the judiciary is more corrupt than the twenty naira police man we see on Nigerian roads daily 1 Like |

The Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Mahmud Mohammed met with president Muhammadu Buhari at the presidential villa on Sunday night by 11pm, a Source has told LeadersNG. It was revealed that the main reason why the CJN met with the president was the arrest of two Justices of the Supreme Court by operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) over allegations of corruption. We were told that a furious Justice Mohammed wanted to know why the president sanctioned the abduction of two justices of the Supreme Court in the middle of the night from their homes. It was also learnt that the CJN confronted the president about the motive of the arrest since he had earlier reported to the president about an attempt to bribe the two arrested Justices by one of his ministers, Rotimi Amaechi sometimes in January, 2016. According to the source, sometime in January, 2016, the Minister of Aviation, Rotimi Amaechi in the company of a serving Director of the DSS had approached the two arrested Justices of the Supreme Court – Justices Sylvester Ngwuta and John Okoro at the home of Justice Ngwuta at the Judges’ Quarters in Abuja to help compromise the Election Tribunal Judgement before his Lordships. They brought the sum of $2million dollars to achieve this. After speaking with both Justices for over an hour on the matter, they called the de-factor president and childhood friend of the president, Alhaji Mamman Daura on the phone who pleaded with the Justices to help as Mr. Amaechi was representing the president on the matter. It was also revealed that after going back and forth on the matter, the Justices refused to collect the money and later reported the matter to the CJN. The source further stated that the Chief Justice of the Federation that same week reported the matter to the president. Although we learned that president Buhari denied ever instructing Mr. Amaechi to approach any of the Justices and assured the CJN of an investigation into the matter, no investigation was ever carried out to the knowledge of the CJN. The CJN was heard to have told the president in a very frank manner that all Justices of the Supreme Court know why Justices Sylvester Ngwuta and John Okoro were arrested and that they believe the president wants to undermine the judiciary. The source also added that president Buhari was on the defensive throughout the meeting claiming he was not properly briefed by the DSS and that he didn’t know the identities of the Justices involved. The president promised the CJN that the Justices will be released by the DSS. The National Judicial Council is currently meeting now on the matter. You will recall that on Saturday, the DSS in what it called a “sting operation” in five states across the country, arrested seven judges, including two Justices of the Supreme Court, and five judges of the Federal High Court. sourced from www.leaders.ng |

Aristo3146: That's the difference between these Judges/law and the way the DSS is going about this. Have you noticed that the Judges haven't said anything? Have you noticed the trend of the allegation being one sided and thus aimed at painting the judges as guilty in the court of public opinion? Law however doesn't work like that. The court /NJC won't listen to the allegations of the SSS alone. They won't behave like you or me and make definitive statements with only half facts. They will listen to both sides. Till they do, keep an unprejudiced mind my good friend. The judicial system is corrupt, yes(heck, everything about us in any sector reeks of corruption), however, a lot of the things we term corruption is actually lazy and incompetent prosecution. 2 Likes |
